Well, OP, I think you've just cured my restartitis. (And I think I've got you beat, I've got almost 500 hours in game and have reached the Underdark only once so far.)
My biggest problem is choosing between Gale and Astarion at this point, because each of those guys likes a totally different kind of person. Personally I think Gale deserves better than the Durge, but of course that's subjective. So maybe I'll just play a Custom character until Gale "does the right thing" and then play a Durge.
I think you should just go ahead and play a Durge now. End your Bard's story there. And it did take you awhile to come to the conclusion that the first character was a Bard, so I think you should just keep experimenting with the Durge class and party makeup until that settles in, and let it be your complete playthrough. Unless of course, some other shocking thing happens and then you'll have to reevaluate once again.
